it’s the monday giggles…

Spilling coffee
is the adult equivalent
of losing your balloon.
hugs n’ blessings being sent whether you’re dark or light brewed!

What is a period of 50 years or grouping of 50?
Well, let me tell you…
“A Half-Century!”
Which means I have had a Half-Century of blessings to be thankful for!
Does this mean it has been 50 years of perfect-living?
Of day after day of over-flowing joy?
Of no tears nor pain?
Of only sunshine beams streaming and eating zero-calorie ice cream for my dinner?
Let me tell you…
“NO!”
But I have learned, while skipping along the way,
(even if it were to have been *admittedly* s-l-o-w-l-y)
that the “perfection” of my life has occurred in the
Sweet Surrender of accepting God’s will.
Let me tell you…
God knows what He is doing!
God has a bigger plan for me than I have ever had for myself
and His plan far exceeds the circumstances of any one given day!
And, let me tell you…
I can hardly wait to discover what this next
half-century
will contain!
There is so much more I would like to sing-song-say,
but if I could only tell you 50 things
I’ve discovered during this first half-century
Let me tell you…
I pray my humble-attempts at living out
this half-century
has been pleasing to Him…
but even perfect people (of which I am not) make mistakes
(that’s #51 I’d like to tell you!)
Where I have failed I pray, with God’s help,
to do better this next half-century
so that I may celebrate
2 Solid-Gold 50’s someday!
(I wonder if Smucker’s could add some polka-dots?)
hugs n’ blessings to all those who will tell me new life-lessons, along the way!
Will you be the first to share?
(I hope you will!)
In a few short days
I will become
25 twice,
5 perfect tens,
the wonderfully BIG
5-zero!
And it already feels GOLDEN!
Am I excited?
Nervous?
Anxious?
Depressed?
Yes, no, no, and a most resounding NO!
Those who know me well
understand this year will be like every other.
Why?
Because I love my birthday!
Why’s that?
It’s my no-excusal-necessary day,
my polka-dots with stripes day,
my free-pass to be sappy-silly
so that if anyone asks,
“What is up with her??”
“IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!”
is the perfectly-perfect thing to say!
“Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you”
2 Corinthians 13:5
I hope you’ll follow along this week and discover all the
“Things of 50”
I plan to chat about.
Who knows????
Maybe you’ll be inspired to find a
polka-dot or stripe
of your very own
along the way!
